Video cameras
Without a video camera, there is no video.
Video cameras have evolved incredibly thanks to technological advances and the enormous growth of the photographic industry.
A digital video camera captures the image and audio and stores it on a card or disk drive.
Digital cameras are flooding the market for their countless advantages and money-saving features. However, we will still find users who use analogue cameras because of nostalgia, fashion or the search for a characteristic image that cannot be achieved by digitisation.
Digital cameras also allow us to manipulate the files, have a greater capacity to take thousands of photos or hundreds of hours of recording and the possibility of testing and testing until the final result is achieved.
